So my tent and light came in yesterday and I set it up about an hour or two ago. I'm having huge temperature problems, I cant get it to drop under 86F. I think my main problem is that I'm exhausting the heat from my light into the same room that my tent is in and because of that my intake fan is suckin in the same hot ish air and making the tent stay hot. Maybe if I move it to my laundry room and blow that exhaust air out of the window I can bring tempsdown some. What do you think? Tent is 36x20x62 with a 600watt hps lamp and air cooled hood. 240cfm exhausting the lights heat and the heat from the tent, 7" intake Honeywell fan blowing cool air into the tent, two 14" oscillator fans and a 6" fan blowing under the hood.

So venting it out of the window will help? This summer I plan on getting a window unit AC to keep the laundry room a constant 72 degrees.

I did that pretty much set up in the back of an apt walk in closet when I was in college for 3 or so years... Just recirculated the air in the closet and was around 86 most of the time. Had to keep the ac at 72, run lights at night, and keep the light high off the canopy (24"+ or so).

Not ideal but best I had to work w and came out w good quality stuff... Still, exhausting the heat would be way better.

Growing 2 Nothern lights, hoping they can take a little heat, I'm mostly worried about my seedlings, which haven't sprouted yet, still germing.

If you do use the laundry room, you could get a y connector and connect exaust to dryer exhaust. With ac keeping a constant temp. sounds like a plan to me.

Wouldn't this risk the possibility of a back draft into the tent possibly when the dryers running? Just curious as I once consider this possibility but wasn't sure.

Just think your fan will be blowing pretty hard. It will probably create a slight suction to the outdoors from the dryer vent also.
